RE: [asa] ID is not "scinece" because...

Impressive set of credentials in evolutionary biology, considering at least
Meyer, Minnich, and Nelson are fellows of the Discovery Institute. I wonder
if they considered having someone like Ken Miller as one of their editors,
to provide some balance and as a check on the factualness of the evidence
they present for the one side. This would be a good book for someone at
ASA, knowledgeable in biology, to review (if they haven't already).

"Exploring Evolution" doesn't teach ID, as far as I remember- I have a
copy. As for "Pandas", I thought the Discovery Institute doesn't
recommend that as a textbook? Casey Luskin told me that (he's with the
Discovery Institute).

Yes there is; it's called "Explore Evolution":
http://www.discovery.org/a/4096

Before that you of course had "Of Pandas and People."

Before anyone lambastes me, I'm just pointing out that there is a
textbook, not arguing for its merits (or demerits) or suggesting that
ID is "science," which I think is in any event a pointless discussion.
